The Gunners have won just two of their opening seven matches in all competitions and sit 10th in the WSL table. It is dismal reading for Arsenal fans, whose optimism has quickly diminished and their 4-2 defeat at City on Sunday added further salt to their wounds.
The Gunners have not won a WSL title since 2019 and it has been a familiar story each year as slow starts have ultimately proven costly. Slegers did lead Arsenal to the Women's Champions League title in 2025. But they failed to win any trophies last season, although they did finish second in the WSL and reach the semi-finals in the defence of their European crown.
Asked if she was worried about her position, Slegers said: "All I know so far is that the last couple of days we have been together as a club, and a team. "We have been aligned in the direction. Of course, this result is disappointing but I'm here and I'm full of energy. I care a lot for the club and the players. I see perspective.
